De Benedictis 1904 182 Feb 29 on board "Golden Bear", Galapagos to Guayaquil, Ecuador. beat and a clearly forked tail, the either L. melanica or O. macleania. They soon dropped far back off the stern to investigate some boxes thrown over and not until about 6:45 did a couple of small Oceanodroma which looked all black (into the sun) appeared, soon to disappear leaving no birds at night. Most everyone tired and a little bored after the real climax of loading. Lots of flying fish, mostly a small clear "winged" one, some with dark wings and larger. Numerous 1 1/2 ft. diamanite phosphorescent jellyfish in the wake about 7:00 PM. Total birds for today: 5 species; 50 petrels (foot all O. lethys except 5 O. costus, 1 dark nump, 2-3 Oceanodroma sp.); 4 Masked Boobies (all pink = Galapagos but color type); 1 Tropic bird. Hope tomorrow will be better. March 1 woke up about 5:30 and by 6 was out on the bow looking for birds. It was overcast and windy, so cold I had to put on a jacket. Saw nothing until between 6:30 and 7, when a school of 50+ 10 to 15 ft. dolphins marked, as well as I could discern not sure of the short, dorsal fin tail and not absolutely clear on the shape of the white mark.
